NASCAR The Game: Inside Line Interview

[LSX]

Generic paint booth? Minus 1.

Generic career mode? Minus 1.

Game release at the END of the season? Minus 1.

Questionable gameplay? Minus whatever's left.


If they truly can make a realistic Nascar racer that is fun to play without any major bugs (which seems like a longshot considering last year's debacle) I might buy a used copy on the cheap. I just don't understand why they would release a game based on the current season, at the END of that season. That is a terrible strategy for sports gaming when the year-to-year team changes are so drastic. Sorry but I don't buy their "approval" excuse. Several of EA's Nascar games were released in the summer, and I think every Papyrus/Sierra game came out before the Daytona 500.

The paint booth and career modes still seem extremely generic with no substance or depth. The racing gameplay might be their saving grace. That is basically all they have going for them, and I'm not holding my breath.

I was really excited for this title, but something with this interview turned me off the game. I guess I will wait to see what ppl think if the game before I jump on board this one.

In a perfect world, that would be the case. I'm guessing if NASCAR 2012 doesn't show significant improvements over last year that another developer could get an opportunity. Right now, there is no pre-order incentive for this game so it will not be a release-date purchase for me.
